Skateboarding

The bumps, bruises, and broken bones
The blood that pours from open wounds
The stitches needed to mend the cuts
All of this can become too much

The death-defying leaps of faith
The frightening heights at which you face
You still decide to risk your life
Just because it all feels right

Some people do it day and night
Just because it’s a way of life
To have the thrill without a pill
Skateboarding is my way of life
